Pest IDENTIFICATION help appreciated please

[Mesa142]

I know not best pictures but they are small any ideas on what these are?

 

[Sunin]

looks like leafhopper

 

[TheGoldenRoad]

Aphid it looks like.

 

[Sunin]

maybe, they sit under the leaves at leaf base?
or on top of leaves?

 

[Mesa142]

That’s where I found them and on the stems

 

[Sunin]

if in small groups at base of leaf and stalks- aphids might be right

 

[Eledin]

If they are bunching on your plant then they are probably eating it aswell. Even if you had mold for them to eat they dont look like mold mites, too big and not the correct shape. There are green aphids so it could be that yes, and those antennas on the front are suspicious, many aphids have them.

Definitely Aphids.

If there was a preferred pest to have to exterminate, id definitely choose aphids. Often they dont even run away if you touch em. Total Nerfs. Got an ant colony close by? Ant's like to heard those green ones to produce honeydew as a food source. That's why they dont usually move much or run away. Ants move them plant to plant to find plants that produce the sweetest honeydew. When you get rid of em put a couple DE rings around the base of the plant. Where i live ants will plant aphids right on my leaf stems lol. If they're ant planted, and the ants like the honeydew that plant produces, the ants will put more back on your plants after you get rid of them if no DE rings.


You dont even have to use sprays on aphids. Just leaf blower your plants lightly once every evening for a few days in a row (be gentle) til you know all eggs have hatched. If you knock a green aphid off a plant, they just get on whatever the closest plant they can and stay there, even if they cant feed on it and they starve to death lmao. Then put down DE rings to keep ants off the plants.
